Hi all;

Well, dad has been in our local Marie Curie (Cancer Care) hospice for about a week and a half now, basically getting his strength back and resting some. (It's wonderfully quiet in there, compared to hospital!)

So, yesterday we had a "family meeting", which was all of us plus docs, District Nurses, physio....basically, everyone involved in his care. Short story - he will be going home 'on pass' as they call it, next monday! We (well, my sis mostly) have sorted out everything he'll need for his care at home, including the people. Despite the 'free' health care we get here, he still has to pay if he wants 24hr nursing care, which he does/will, but thankfully that isn't an issue.

So, we're now on countdown, waiting for next week. Hopefully nothing else will stand in the way as he is desperate to get home, if only for a matter of days. Not sure my mum is really ready for it though, as she's just started being, essentially, on her own! Ho hum!!

See y'all soon, and thanks for reading.

DM
